West Herr’s Buffalo area Jaguar dealership has heard that Jaguar will be going green!

This is exciting news for all Buffalo area Jaguar drivers. Soon you can bask in the luxury of a Jaguar and feel zero guilt about emissions! Jaguar is partnering with Caparo Vehicle Technologies and Lotus to create a luxury sedan that has lower than 120 grams per kilometer of CO2 emissions. Jaguar Land Rover has been receiving grants from the U.K. government to push forward their Limo Green project.

The Jaguar electric vehicle may have some design features similar to the lines of 2011 Jaguar XJ but what it will have is 145 kilowatt electric motor as its heart supplied by lithium ion batteries. It will also come with a range extender in the form of a gasoline engine just like the design employed by
the upcoming Chevrolet Volt. The range extender completes
the series hybrid design when it runs a generator which in turn will be recharging the car’s battery pack.

Lotus engineers have designed a small 3-cylinder 1.2L engine that can give out 20 to 47 horsepower. This engine was unveiled by Lotus during the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall. It is a very lightweight engine at 126 pounds of single aluminum casting. The combined engine of the electric Jaguar sedan can run for 47 miles for every gallon, pretty steep fuel economy for such a strong car. It can also hit a decent top speed of 112 miles per hour. The range will should also not be a concern at an impressive 600 miles. Insiders expect the electric XJ Jaguar to have excellent handling, since the V8 powerplant weight will be removed from the equation.
